BirchBox Man June!

Hi Everyone!

My husband received his BirchBox Man yesterday and he is super stoked on it! I have to say that their boxes are definitely geared to men and even though they are $20, they have some pretty awesome products in them!

Let's get started!

This box included 6 "samples"

Quirky Cordies

$10.00

Birchbox Breakdown

Desktop cable management may not be sexy, but neither is rooting around on your hands and knees amidst the mounting dust bunnies under your desk looking for your fallen power charger. Cordies keeps all your power cords, phone chargers, and audio cables in order so you can plug in and unplug easily and quickly.

How it Works

Weighted but flexible rubber provides a solid grip for all your cords. A rubber bottom gives the Cordies module a solid hold on your desk.

How to Use

Thread all your cables through the 3.5-inch wide organizer and you won’t have to waste your time detangling them or retrieving them from under your desk. You can even stack cables on top of each other within the three individual loop spaces. If you have more devices than that, you may want to think about scaling back.

Quirky Wrapster

$5.00

Birchbox Breakdown

When you store your earbuds in your pocket or backpack, they typically go in neatly folded like a new pair of shoelaces, but come out looking more like a ball of dried out spaghetti. This small and durable plastic contraption is designed to keep your headphones organized and detangled as they go in and out of your pocket.

How it Works

The Wrapster allows you to wrap your headphones vertically so they’re neater and flatter in your pocket. A totally sweet and unexpected extra: when not housing your earbud cords, the Wrapster works as a stand for your iPhone in landscape mode.

How to Use

Thread your earbud cords through the two separate side tubes, and wrap the main cord around the center. Slide the wrapped-up headphones into your pocket. When you want to use them again, unwrap the main cord but leave the left and right earbud cords in the side tubes.

Supersmile Professional Whitening Toothpaste

$21.00

Birchbox Breakdown

Years of coffee and red wine can do a number on once-pearly whites. That’s where this effective whitening toothpaste comes in. The scientifically advanced formula uses a proprietary mineral-based agent to lift away surface stains without causing sensitivity. It’s safe for all types of teeth, even false ones and veneers.

How to Use

Squeeze a pearl-size drop of toothpaste onto a dry toothbrush. Brush your teeth for two minutes, using circular motions. Rinse.

BENTA BERRY Super Moisturizing Face Cream for Men

Birchbox Breakdown

This even-keeled moisturizer is designed to keep your skin balanced (read: not too dry, not too oily). Ideal for all skin types, the all-natural formula hydrates without clogging pores, and it dries to a matte finish (so you don’t have to worry about break-outs or forehead shine).

How it Works

The glycerin base is fortified with a globe-trotting blend of skin-softening botanical extracts sourced from Europe, China, and Africa, including pomegranate, kiwi and kigelia africana (also known as the “sausage tree”).

How to Use

A small amount goes a long way. Swipe a pea-sized amount onto face after cleansing. The emollient formula takes a bit longer to dry than other moisturizers, so allow your skin a minute or so to absorb the cream.

John Allan’s Slickwater Pre-Shave Solution

$29.00

Birchbox Breakdown

Many shaving aids foam and froth dramatically, but that doesn’t mean they’re offering your face protection through a shave. Prepping your face with a quality pre-shaving formula—one that sits directly against the skin—will ensure you’re safe from nicks, bumps, and irritation. True to its name, John Allan’s pre-shave solution creates a super slick and super protective primer coat, over which you can apply your usual shaving solution. Think of it like the Zamboni that smoothes and cools the shaving surface, allowing your razor to glide like Apolo Ohno.

How it Works

Anti-inflammatory oat kernel and cucumber extracts teach touchy, post-shave skin to chill out, while tea tree oil, that wondrous Australian import with antiseptic powers, lends the solution a robust and invigorating smell. This “slick water” is indeed extremely slippery, but not at all oily.

How to Use

This is something like a shaving base layer. After washing your face, apply a small amount of this solution to your chin, cheeks, neck, and upper lip before spreading your preferred shaving cream or gel on top of it.

Overall, I think this month they got their money's worth. It will be interesting to see what the next months have in store. Most companies start off really well and then start running out of ideas/samples and then you may cancel. So, hopefully they will continue to find great companies to introduce our men to! Like I said before, it makes me feel a lot better about having all my other subscription services!! lol.

Here is where you can get your box or a box for the man in your life :)
